Leevi Lehto (1951-2019)

POETRYFEST!
In honour of Leevi Lehto

We commemorate and celebrate poet Leevi Lehto with a POETRYFEST! on 6th July 2019 – the day of poetry and summer, and also birthday of Eino Leino, a famous Finnish poet – at Tenho Restobar (Helsinginkatu 15, Helsinki).

Featuring, among others, Mikael Brygger, Karri Kokko, Sirpa Kyyrönen, Miia & Marko duo, Eiríkur Örn Norðdahl, Outi-Illuusia Parviainen, Olli Sinivaara, Joonas Sojakka, Henriikka Tavi, Olli-Pekka Tennilä, Jarkko S. Tuusvuori. The list will be updated.

During the evening we will see a poetry video by Leevi called "Sanasade" ("Word Rain") and hear some of his audio recordings.

There will be open mic, max 5 minutes per person. If you wish to read a poem or share your memories of Leevi, please send a message to leevinrunojuhla@gmail.com.

Event is hosted by Miia Toivio and Marko Niemi, and organized by ntamo and Poesia.

Welcome!

Leevi Lehto (1951–2019) was a truly prolific man of letters: a poet, translator, publisher, and much more. He founded the publishing house called ntamo in 2007 and translated John Ashbery, Charles Bernstein and James Joyce into Finnish. His last collection poetry, called Handy McCoystysen rakkauslaulu, was published in June 2019, and his translation of John Keats' poems and letters will be published later this year.

OLA JULÉN

Ola Julén (1970-2013) publicerade endast två böcker. Ändå har han gjort djupa och genomgripande intryck såväl på den Nordiska poesin som i många enskilda liv. Få poeter förunnas så hängivna läsare. Hans poesi är rått existentiell, pregnant, reducerad och drabbande. Länge har det ryktats om att hans kvarlåtenskap rymmer ett opublicerat manuskript. Nu utkommer det äntligen under titeln Afrikas verkliga historia. I månadens poesipod samtalar Örnen och Kråkans redaktör med Daniela Floman och Marie Lundquist, som sammanställt manuskriptet. Samtalet interfolieras av en unik inspelning där poeten själv läser hela sin debutbok, Orissa.

Kevin Killian (1952–2019)

The photos below (one with KK and Morten Søndergaard, another with me, selfie, the third from his reading at at Michael Woolworth’s atelier) are all taken by me in Paris in December 2017, where I attended the amazing Poets & Critics-seminar dedicated solely to the work of Kevin Killian. May he rest in peace. Andrew Durbin, who edited the KK-reader, wrote this commemoration.
